Wontons

I love Asian food of all kinds. I can't usually afford to go out when I have a craving. Saw a recipe on Pintrest the other day for homemade wontons. I have always wanted to to try making those, so I decided it was time to try.

They were easier than I thought, just time consuming. I made a chili garlic dipping sauce to go with them.

I had the oil a little hotter than I thought and so these got a little browner than I wanted.

The main attraction was a new Beef Lo Mein recipe.

Write My Novel?

I have been having an internal debate for the last couple of months. One of mt coworkers Cheryl and I have been talking about writing. (everyone is an aspiring author). We challenged each other to publish our first novels.
She just published hers on Amazon in digital format. She wrote hers 23 years ago, and it is really good. My first novel is really bad. (Trust me, I wrote it at 16).

My debate comes from whether to try my hand again now that I have more life experience. I have the concept for a genealogy mystery. I have always wanted to write, but can I justify the time spent.

Bow Tie Onsie

There are days I feel like an over achiever. I can't do just one idea I have to do two or three. The other idea I saw was a suspenser and bow tie onsie. Here is my version. Again, I think these are darling. Especially for a newborn. This way you are not constantly tucking the shirt in.

Baby Suit from Onsie

I saw the cutest outfit for a newborn on Pintrest the other day for a little boy. It was a vest added to a onsie for dress up. I had to try it. As a coincidence it have a baby shower for a boy in about two weeks.
This is my version. I had to make a pair of pants to go with it. A newborn in a suit is to die for cute.

New Wardrobe Addition

It's been about three weeks since my over indulgence in Christmas crocheting. You should really listen to your body when it gives you warnings. I didn't and now I'm paying for it. It is getting worse and worse. It really hurts. I can do very little without pain. I decided I probably ought to go to the doctor and see what he said.

I now have a new addition to my wardrobe. Thankfully it is only a half cast so I can take it off to shower.

Doctor says he can't see a break, even though I have the symptoms of a stress fracture. We are trying steroids and a splint cast for several days to see if the symptoms improve. I hope so. I feel like a wimp saying my wrist hurts.

Temple in the Snow

I love photography. I consider myself a novice, but I like to practice. On December 7th of 2013 we got record snowfall. In one day we got 6". My DH actually had to use a shovel on the sidewalks.

We live a couple of blocks from the St. George LDS Temple. I couldn't wait to get my camera out to see what I could get. Rare occurance in the desert.
I thought this one turned out really well.

Blue Jumper

In October of 2013 I knit this really cute jumper from one of my Etsy patterns. I really liked the Kimono style and the fact that it was sleeveless so you could use it as a jumper with a turtle neck or Peter Pan collar underneath.
